Tool #1

I have just finished tool number one for creating my classroom blog. It was not a very hard process, but creating the avatar was a bit tricky! I am very excited about the new technology that is going to be in our classrooms. Since this is all new to me, I tend to think that first graders will not be able to do it when I am struggling myself. However, I know that if we start at an early age, it will be amazing to see what they are capable of. If you take them through things step by step, they are very quick learners no matter the age! I think that a classroom blog will be a valuable tool for communication. Through postings, the parents can keep up with the learning that is going on in our classroom. Some parents struggle to find the time to get ahold of their child's teacher, so this can be a different way to get a glimpse into what goes on while their child is at school!
